Man Finally Opens Ex’s Wedding Gift After 10 Years, Finds This

They could hardly conceal their gasps when they finally opened it after all these years. They had been dreading opening the box ever since they had gotten it. Sometimes, a strange curiosity made them wonder what it may contain, and they always imagined the worst.

However, nothing in the world could have prepared them for what they discovered when they opened the box and looked inside. It was much worse than they could have ever anticipated.

Troubled Relationship

James and Liz’s relationship had been everything but easy. It took them plenty of work and effort to get to the point where they were now; married, happy in each other’s company, and undisturbed by any external threat. Except for one thing.

That box had been sitting in the bottom of one of their wardrobes for ten years. For all that time, it had been an uncomfortable presence in their lives; every time they remembered it was there, a feeling of awkwardness took over.

Blast From The Past

After all, the past was the past, and that’s where it should stay. But even though they couldn’t bring themselves to finally open it, they couldn’t make up their minds to throw it away either.

But at some point, they were no longer able to fight their curiosity. They figured that opening it would be amusing, and they thought of it as a joke of sorts. But when they did it, they couldn’t help but feel appalled by what they found inside.

Both Were Divorced

James and Liz had been married for ten years now. It wasn’t the first marriage for either of them; when they met, each of them was immersed in their own divorce processes from their previous partners.

Some say that it’s hard to thrive and prosper in a relationship where any member has recently gone through a breakup; a lot of baggage and stress is carried from the previous relationship, which can complicate things. However, James and Liz had managed to come out on top. But it wasn’t easy.

Complicated Separation

When they met, Liz was already separated from her ex-husband and lived in her own place, but James didn’t. As a matter of fact, he was going through the most intense phase of his divorce.

And it wasn’t pretty to see: his wife, now ex-wife, begged and pleaded with him not to go. She was just desperate to have him back; she had been using all sorts of nasty tactics and mind games, emotional blackmail, and whatnot. And for a minute, James was on the fence about it.
